Title: The Pharaoh's pursue
Post by: remotemass on September 01, 2013, 04:02:44 AM
What if every day very rich people died with all their fortunes in bitcoins (in a very pharaonic manner)? If it was really a very common way of leaving this world...

I guess, then, the market cap of bitcoin could get to be much more than we would predict at first thought.

How much can the price of bitcoin really get? One million dollars? One trillion?
Even more?!! And not just that, the world tends to get wealthier, so just think how much one day one will be able to buy with a single bitcoin...

I remember that a Japanese multi-miillionaire had decided to get cremated with Van Gogh's Portrait of Dr Gachet.
A tragic waste, and an idea which deserved outrage.

Most wealthy bitcoiners would leave their private keys accessible via instructions in their wills.

Fortunately, bitcoins are more fungible than one Portait of Dr Gachet.
